Chapter 658 Real Finance
As soon as this business law came out, everyone was caught off guard. No one thought that Wang Anshi was hiding such a trick, and everyone was calculating the gains and losses.
At the same time, the royal court and the Legislative Council have repeatedly issued notices, and even published articles in news newspapers, saying that Qingzhou may face debt restructuring, but the main reason is that the local finances are very chaotic and the debts are huge, and Qingzhou's finances are already difficult to bear.
Anyway, it means that the court is not trying to take the opportunity to dismiss officials, but is forced by reality.
And the evidence is the business law.
Even if the debt is restructured, those officials will not be laid off immediately, and the Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Second Government will issue a business law to accommodate these officials.
I hope everyone will work together to get out of the predicament.
The Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Second Government also published articles to publicize the business law. One of the most important points is that the business law was not designed for Qingzhou, but was implemented on a trial basis in Qingzhou. If it is successful in Qingzhou, it may spread throughout the country.
All in all, all in all, just wanting to lie down and eat is definitely not enough, you still have to work.But at the same time, he also said that the elderly posting officials do not need to participate in it, but they can also choose according to their own ability and physical condition, but their salaries will all be borne by the business bureau. Will be affected, of course, those officials who have become officials are not included.
This immediately cooled the whole situation down.
The opposition is also willing to accept this condition for the time being. After all, they also want to procrastinate, not to make a comeback, because there is currently no chance of a comeback.
In addition, it is currently the cold winter season, and it is impossible to make trouble if you want to.
When most of the opposition subsided, the sluggish reformists were greatly boosted in morale, because the final result was that the public security organs and the procuratorate would kill them, and it was Wang Anshi's introduction of the Business Law that saved them.
Moreover, they all believed that Wang Anshi had come up with a business method temporarily to ease their crisis, because no one knew about this business method before, so there was only one possibility, and that was Wang Anshi's temporary idea.
The tree is big enough to enjoy the shade, so most of the opposition continued to stand on the side of the reformists. The main reason is that there is no leader. In the current political affairs hall, apart from the conservatives, they are all reformers. Unlike the Qingli period, many prime ministers were conservatives.
This is very crucial to Wang Anshi. Although this battle ended up hurting both sides, the attack on the reformists was actually far better than that on the conservatives.
The reason is simple. Many officials who follow the reformist faction are looking for official careers, but the young crop law on Jingdong East Road almost caused them to lose their official positions, which made them hesitate.
However, the promulgation of the Business Law has tied up everyone's interests.
The passage of this policy also shows that Wang Anshi has not lost his power, and Zhao Xu supports Wang Anshi.
The fact is also the same, Zhao Xu did not show any wavering towards the New Deal, today he still summoned Wang Anshi alone to the palace to discuss matters as before.
"Mister's career law is like timely rain. Now there are nearly [-]% fewer memorials to impeach Fan Chunren, and the court is gradually returning to its former peace."
Seeing Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu still praised Wang Anshi like a little fanboy.
"The official's reputation is too high, this is the job of the minister."
Wang Anshi continued: "Furthermore, according to my minister's prediction, as long as the court goes all out, the income that the business law can bring to the finances will be able to greatly alleviate the burden of redundant officials in our court."
Zhao Xu knew this plan for a long time, but he still asked with interest: "Really?"
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "It's like hospitals and colleges. On the surface, the income is only medical fees and tuition fees, but in fact it is not the case, and there are also expenses for medicinal materials and books.
As long as the people of the world trust the hospitals and colleges of the imperial court, the medicinal materials of the hospitals and the books of the colleges can be sold directly to the people of the world, which is enough to make up for Qingzhou's financial crisis. "
Zhao Xu nodded frequently.
Wang Anshi said again: "But this requires talents to carry out."
Zhao Xu immediately said: "Whoever you like, sir, it's okay to just say it."
Wang Anshi said: "First of all, it is the hospital. I hope that the government will send some medical officials in the palace to provide support, especially the formula of some cheap medicinal materials in the palace."
Forget about those expensive prescriptions, the common people can't afford them.
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "No problem."
Wang Anshi said: "Besides, I also like the two of you."
Zhao Xu asked, "Who?"
Wang Anshi said: "The minister recommends Shen Kuo, Si Tianjian, to be in charge of this project. He is knowledgeable, proficient in all kinds of knowledge, and has outstanding abilities. He is the only suitable talent in the court."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, and said, "This person is indeed very suitable, who is the other person?"
Wang Anshi said: "He is the son of Duke Yan, Yan Jidao."
"Yan Jidao?"
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and said: "He doesn't seem to be in the court now, but he is working as the editor-in-chief of the genuine bookstore, specializing in publishing books."
Wang Anshi said: "My minister knows, but he is also a salary official, and he still gets a salary. In the past two years, all the books written by him have been sold well. Last year, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom bought ten cartloads of books from the genuine bookstore. , The minister recommended him to be the dean of the Dibao Academy, and at the same time supervise the compilation of the college's books."
Since he regards books as commodities, he must find excellent talents to rewrite them. The previous books must not be bought with much money.
Zhang San may never have imagined that Mr. would compete with his genuine bookstore for talent.Zhao Xu smiled secretly, nodded again and said, "As for the candidates for the career law, Mr. can make the decision with full power, and I have no opinion."
This kind of position does not affect any power, and he can certainly give Wang Anshi more freedom.
"My minister obeys."
Wang Anshi cupped his hands slightly, and then said again: "In addition, I also summarized the lessons and shortcomings that I have learned from the trial implementation of the new policy in Hezhong Mansion and Jingdong East Road this year. I think that the reason why the new law faces so many problems and encounters so many people's opposition, It still lies in the confusion of implementation and ineffective supervision."
If there is a mistake, you have to admit it. The emperor is not stupid. It doesn't make sense to just say that a traitor caused such a big disturbance. The fly doesn't bite seamless eggs. The emperor doesn't say it, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know.
Wang Anshi must also have a review with the boss.
Zhao Xu said very euphemistically: "This still needs the assistance of the public prosecutor."
Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "The Public Security Law is indeed conducive to the implementation of the New Deal. This minister does not deny it, but it is only an aid. The New Deal is more likely to be lacking in systems."
"is it?"
Zhao Xu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Where did you start talking about this, sir?"
Wang Anshi said: "Whether it is in Hezhong Mansion or Jingdong East Road, the order to establish the Regulations Department of the Second Mansion can only go to the Transit Department. If it continues to be implemented, the Transit Department will inevitably face the complex official system of our dynasty. And the government office system. It is not difficult to see from Jingdong East Road that some states and counties have implemented very well without any problems, but there are also some states and counties that are full of problems. The shortcomings of our court system are always affecting the implementation of the New Deal .”
Zhao Xu nodded, and felt that what Wang Anshi said made sense. The establishment of the Division of Regulations of the Second Government can only avoid the complicated system of the central government, and it can be directly assigned to the Transshipment Division, but what about the Transshipment Division?
"I don't know how the master plans to get rid of this ill?" Zhao Xu asked again.
Wang Anshi said: "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. This bad government is not easy to solve for the time being. Therefore, I tried to cooperate with businessmen in Hezhong Mansion and achieved great success."
Having said that, he paused for a while, "By the way, do the officials know about the charitable foundation?"
Zhao Xu was taken aback, "Of course I know."
Wang Anshi said: "This charitable foundation is not a personal business, but a joint business of many businessmen. This charitable foundation relies on loans, or even directly invests money in businessmen, to make profits and achieve great success.
The Changping Division of Hezhong Prefecture actually imitated the charity foundation and achieved good results.The minister's new law is mainly aimed at finance, and it has the same principle as doing business.
Therefore, the minister suggested that the Changping Division should be promoted to bypass the complicated local government offices and directly cooperate with businessmen to implement the new law.
The order of the imperial court is still issued to the Transshipment Department, and the Transshipment Department directly executes it by promoting the Changping Department.The Department of Promoting Changping follows the example of a charitable foundation and is only responsible for overall planning, lending, and appropriating money.
Such as the exemption law and transportation, the sale and purchase of the uniform transportation method, the loan of the young crop law, and the market transaction law that the minister will promulgate next year, all focus on the promotion of the Changping Division, and the promotion of the Changping Division will be carried out through cooperation with businessmen in various industries , to gain profit.
In this way, the local government can be bypassed, and local resistance can also be avoided by the way. "
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "This strategy is very clever."
In fact, they have been playing this trick all the time, that is, they start from scratch. When encountering resistance, we just bypass it and don't play with them.
It's three feet frozen, you go digging ice, how can you have so much time.
And this lesson also made Wang Anshi realize that many officials don't care about the life and death of the New Deal at all. Zhang Fei proposed to set up a super financial institution and concentrate all the finances on the promotion of Changping. Not only can the government order be understood, but it can also be used Bypass local officials.
Wang Anshi continued: "In addition, I also carefully studied the success of the Hezhong Mansion. The key reason for the success of the salt banknotes in the Hezhong Mansion was the lack of coins in the area. When an appropriate amount of salt money goes out, a part of the salt money will be left among the people, and this part of the income can also be regarded as fiscal income.
And my court is facing a shortage of coins in almost all parts of the country. I think that the court should take this salt money seriously, because it can make up for the lack of finances in a short period of time. "
Zhao Xu hurriedly asked: "Sir, do you have any suggestions on this?"
He is also very interested in this thing, but Zhang Fei did not discuss it with him in depth.
Wang Anshi said: "Develop a very detailed production and supervision process. I asked someone to bring some of the salt banknotes from the Hezhong Mansion. The production is rough and has no aesthetic feeling. It doesn't look like a valuable item in your hand. This means that the imperial court doesn't pay much attention to it, and a beautiful salt note can make the people more confident.
Therefore, the minister thought that the court could recruit talents in this field first, and design complex and exquisite salt banknotes, which would be difficult for people to imitate.
More importantly, the issuance and supervision of salt banknotes are still based on raising military pay for the border states, rather than treating it as an independent currency. I think this should be adjusted. It should not be solely for the purpose of raising military pay for the border states. Financial considerations should also be taken into consideration. , It can also be directly handed over to the Changping Department for promotion, and according to the financial situation of each place, it will be issued in an appropriate amount. "
Zhang Fei was in Hezhong Mansion, so he didn't have the property of salt banknotes. The main issue was according to the Commercial Law formulated by Fan Xiang and Xue Xiang.
Zhao Xu asked: "Aren't you going through the third division?"
Wang Anshi said: "How can the third division know the situation of coins in various places? Changping Division, who has been dealing with merchants all year round, knows the specific situation of each place clearly."
Zhao Xu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just follow what Mr. said."
He also likes to bypass Sansi.But then, he smiled and said: "It seems that sir has learned a lot of lessons during this trial!"
Wang Anshi immediately said: "Actually, the minister's new law is based on the experience of the ancestors, and then adjusted and improved according to the situation of our dynasty. It is not the minister's first creation. If there is no successful experience, how dare the minister advise the officials."
Some people say that Wang Anshi is an obstinate, arrogant, and self-willed man. This statement is true, but it all lies in his proposition and philosophy. He believes that fiscal deficits can be reversed through fiscal policies.It's not about the specific means. None of his new laws are thought up by him, and none of them are the first. They are all based on the experience of previous or present people, and there are successful cases, so he uses them.
As long as the method is in line with his ideas and ideas, he can use it.
Zhang Fei's idea of a super-financial institution, salt banknotes, and salt debts are all in line with his ideas. At that time, he was ecstatic when he learned of this plan, and he personally approved it. Yuan Jiang followed Zhang Fei's plan to do it. , Without his approval, Yuan Jiang really didn't dare to do that.
Like these methods, he can absorb them immediately and use them for me.
In addition, he was so eager to suggest to Zhao Xu because of the situation.
He also knew in his heart that the emperor might have been shaken by the new law, so he had to make adjustments to strengthen the emperor's determination to support the new deal.
In addition, the success of the Public Procuratorate and the emperor's favor for the Public Procuratorate meant that his legalist thought would be difficult to achieve.
This is actually very troublesome.
He has to make a change.
Here he borrowed the method of charitable foundations to directly obtain profits through investment and loans to businessmen.
Moreover, this can help him avoid the complicated bureaucratic system and control the overall situation.
This is the biggest difference between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. Sima Guang does not agree with these financial management ideas at all. His policy is only one thing, rest and recuperate, lightly pay and pay less. Even if this policy can make money, Sima Guang will think it is crooked. It can only be won for a while, but not for a long time. For a long time, it will hurt the people.
Wang Anshi highly admires financial management methods, and he can quickly absorb this knowledge and use it in his own policies.
After meeting Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu summoned Sima Guang in person, but now he has two wings flying together, and he can't take care of one and lose the other.
The matter Sima Guang talked with Zhao Xu was very simple, that is, the matter of hiring a Jilu officer by the Public Procuratorate.
The responsibility of our public security law is to implement it, and it is the department with the highest requirements. If we just throw rotten fish and rotten shrimps at our public security law, how can we do it? Moreover, the reason why the public security law can achieve such success is that the public security law can directly cut off inappropriate people. people.
Those posting officials are all uncles, and they are used to being lazy. When they come to the public security bureau, if they don't work hard, what should they do?
This will bring down the ethos of our public security and law enforcement.
And it is very difficult for these post-paid officials to be dismissed. There are so many procedures that it is really jaw-dropping. Basically, they are iron rice bowls.
Sima Guang insisted on asking them to apply for posts, start from the lowest position, and retain their posts based on their ability.
If he came up to be the Chief Prosecutor directly, he would definitely not be dismissed, because the Chief Prosecutor must be appointed by the imperial court. Although the Hezhong Mansion had a special situation and directly recruited talents from the local area, they had all applied for it, and the chief judge still did not have this power.
Zhao Xu readily accepted his suggestion, because Sima Guang only targeted the lower-level officials of the Public Security Bureau, the upper-level officials, and the court decided, which did not affect his personnel rights. However, he still asked Sima Guang to recruit as many officials as possible. Rather than recruiting people easily from the private sector, this will aggravate the redundancy of officials in the court.
Of course Sima Guang also agreed, it's not that he didn't want to recruit, because the public security bureau lacked talents who could read and write, but he just said that if recruited, he had to spur them and make them work hard.
Zhang family.
"Director Zhang, the renovation of your house has been completed, why don't you go and see it yourself."
Li Bao came to the house, rubbed his hands together, and said to Zhang Fei.
"no need!"
Zhang Fei shook his head, "I believe Brother Bao has done more meticulously than I thought. Come, come, sit, a hot pot specially prepared for you."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Li Bao was not polite and sat down immediately.
Zhang Fei personally poured a cup of hot wine for Li Bao, "Have a cup of wine to warm up your body."
Li Bao raised his glass and drank it, smashed it a few times: "This is really comfortable."
Of course, Zhang Fei didn't have time to relax, so he asked Li Bao to come over for a drink.
Zhang Fei asked: "How is the arrangement of the tax department on Jingdong East Road?"
Li Bao said: "The government has already sent someone there."
"is it?"
"Ah."
When it comes to collecting taxes, Zhao Xu is more active than anyone else. Not to mention the cold winter, even on a snowy day, you have to rush there immediately.
Let's go to trouble, this tax money can't be less.
Zhang Fei smiled, and said again: "When I was in Hezhong Mansion, I heard that our people on Jingdong East Road were already impatient."
Li Bao said hurriedly: "That's true, because President Zhang asked us to go to Jingdong East Road first. The scale of development there is larger than that of Hezhong Prefecture now."
Zhang Fei asked: "Then there should be no problem with this year's autumn taxes, right?"
Li Bao grinned and said, "There must be no problem. We have made sufficient preparations, but it will definitely be a bloodbath!"
"It's bloody?" Zhang Fei frowned.
Li Bao said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang does not know something. There are various armies on the Shaanxi Road, and they are all elite troops from the Song Dynasty. On the contrary, there are relatively few grassroots bandits there. The people are relatively simple and the most troublesome. That is the army.
But Jingdong East Road is different, especially in Qizhou, Qingzhou, and Dengzhou. The officials there are weak and the imperial army is corrupt. As a result, there are grass bandits on almost every mountain in the area, and there are thugs and rogues everywhere. In my opinion, The worst law and order here is Qizhou.
This time Jingdong East Road has become like this, but there are also reasons for this. If there is another place, we will go to add fuel to the fire, and it may not be able to burn. "
Zhang Fei said: "Really or not?" He murmured in his heart, as if Liangshan was over there.
Li Bao said: "Of course it is true. Just ask Feng Nanxi. Otherwise, our tax department would not have developed so fast there. For our tax department, there are really a lot of talents there, and there are many in Hezhong Mansion. Talents are all transferred from Qizhou."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but worried: "Then can you handle it?"
Li Bao said: "The task will definitely be completed, but a lot of force may be used. Otherwise, if President Zhang goes there personally to take charge, it may be possible to use less force."
Zhang Fei said angrily: "You've said so, I won't go even if you kill me. This is what I'm most afraid of."
"is it?"
Li Bao was surprised.
Zhang Fei said, "What do you mean?"
"No, nothing interesting."
Li Bao quickly shook his head, thinking, Chief Judge Zhang is so cruel, why would he be afraid of this?
Zhang Fei said thoughtfully again: "Actually, this is also good. In the capital, we were still somewhat restrained, but in Hezhong Mansion, we managed the army in advance, and later it was mainly Wendou. We should also show it. For the force of the Taxation Department, you can apply to the officials at that time, and get some bed crossbows, it is said that the thing is more powerful and can avoid our damage."
".!"
Li Bao swallowed, and said: "But that can't avoid the injury of others."
Zhang Fei said: "Then they will pay taxes honestly! The robbery is amazing!"
Li Bao nodded blankly, and then said: "President Zhang, are you kidding me?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course not, I never joke in official business."
"Then I'll tell the officials that you asked for it."
"Row."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Li Bao smiled sheepishly, and quickly had a drink with Zhang Fei, subdued from shock, and suddenly said with emotion: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhang, what I worry about the tax department now is that if they all pay taxes honestly, then what should our people do?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then hehe said: "You are thinking too far ahead. First of all, tax evasion will never be eradicated. It depends on whether we can achieve a high level of morality and a high level of magic without getting a bonus." , that is, we are incompetent and there is no reason.
Secondly, there are still so many places across the country that this is very early.
Finally, isn't there a neighbor? "
Li Bao was surprised and said: "Next door?"
Zhang Fei said: "There is really nowhere to put it, so I can only go to Liao Kingdom to collect it."
Li Bao said cheerfully, "Chairman Zhang is joking."
Zhang Fei smiled and shook his head: "I'm not kidding."
Li Bao blinked, "What, why are we going to Liao to collect taxes?"
Zhang Fei said: "Is the Yanyun Sixteen States our territory in the Central Plains?"
Li Bao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "As long as it belongs to us legally, then we can collect taxes. As for whether we can receive it, it depends on our ability."
Li Bao scratched his head and said, "But the land is finally occupied by the Liao Kingdom."
Zhang Fei said: "For tax collection, who cares about these."
Li Bao said hehe: "We really never thought about it, but it's a pity that it's hard for us to fight Xixia, let alone Liao."
At this moment, Niu Beiqing came to the door and said, "Sanlang, Mr. Yan Xiao wants to see you."
Yan Jidao?
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Tell Mr. Yan Xiao to go to the back room, I will come right away."
He also asked Li Bao to ask those artisans to eat together, while he himself hurried to the back room.
Seeing Yan Jidao, after the two exchanged greetings, Yan Jidao said: "Yan came to visit a few days ago. Unfortunately, Sanlang was busy with official duties at that time!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I'm so sorry, I...!"
"Yan understands."
Yan Jidao raised his hand, and said again: "Chairman Zhang has come back this time, there are too many things to deal with, understand, understand."
There was a bit of envy in the voice, at your age, your background, being the chief judge, why am I the son of the dignified Mr. Yan, unexpectedly.
Yan Jidao immediately said again: "I didn't plan to disturb Saburo today, but I have something to tell you."
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"
Yan Jidao said: "The imperial court suddenly issued a decree, ordering me to go to Qingzhou to serve as the dean of the Business School and compile the textbooks for the School of Business."
"what?"
Zhang Fei was surprised: "Hasn't Mr. Yan already resigned?"
Yan Jidao said: "But Yan is still a salary official, and still has the imperial salary. Yan can't refuse, and he doesn't want to refuse, but it's thanks to Chief Judge Zhang for giving me this opportunity, so I can be promoted today."
The editor-in-chief can be made at any time, but the opportunity of promotion is really hard to come by. He still wants to seize this opportunity and see if he can make it up.
At present, he is still ambitious, after all, he has not been beaten by politics.
This Wang Jiefu is hateful!Zhang Fei squeezed out a smile, "Then I wish Mr. Yan Xiao all the best."
"Fuck you, I'll help you with a plan and set up a business unit, and you've poached my talent away, you Wang Anshi, you're really ungrateful, I %&*#￥@!"
"What ungrateful?"
Xu Zun, who had just returned home, saw Zhang Fei muttering there, and couldn't help asking.
"My father-in-law is back."
Zhang Fei hurriedly stood up, saluted, and said casually: "It's about business."
Coincidentally, Xu Zhiqian also entered the back hall, "Daddy, you are back."
Xu Zun nodded, and said to Zhang Fei: "Everyone in the court today is discussing your entry into the procuratorate."
Zhang Fei was fine, so Xu Zhiqian hurriedly asked: "How is it?"
Xu Zundao: "Fu Gong has already petitioned the officials, but once the news came out, almost all the ministers objected, and they all asked Zhang San to go back to the Hezhong Mansion."
Xu Zhiqian asked, "Why?"
"Why else?" Xu Zundao: "Of course it's because of fear. At the beginning, Zhang San was just a pen, and he already gave them such a headache. Now that he enters the capital's procuratorate, he must not scare them so much that they can't sleep at night."
Xu Zhiqian snorted, "They have a guilty conscience."
Xu Zun smiled, but did not deny it.
Zhang Fei was very calm and said, "Then what should we do now?"
Xu Zun asked: "Have you not discussed this matter with the officials?"
"no!"
Zhang Fei said: "I thought it was just a trivial matter, after all, it's not that I was promoted to be the chief prosecutor."
Xu Zundao: "This is a trivial matter, but it may take some time."
Xu Zhiqian said: "If the officials give orders, can they delay?"
Xu Zundao: "The imperial court has a court system, and officials cannot act recklessly. The main reason is that Zhang San's transfer is a normal transfer, not a direct appointment, so this needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Personnel, the East and West Houses, and other government agencies, and these As soon as the government heard that Zhang San was to be transferred back to the capital, they all went on holiday. Now they can't find anyone, so they have to wait until next year, but next year they will definitely find ways to delay it."
"???"
